HALO is opening its doors - to ROCK. The Saturday of 5 November Le Soirée Privée Party
brings to you the very first HALO Rocks (#1, don't you know), and to kick things off
there are three of HK's finest bands to show you how it's done.
There's the moody ambience of Dark Himaya and their grungy introspective rock to
start with, followed by Logo who'll walk you through yesteryears' soundscapes while
talking of tomorrow. And finally, there's operator to close the show with their multi-faceted alt-rock.
It's going to be a first show to remember, so come on down - the fun begins at 10, and it's FREE to enter!
(But, look out, 'cause there's no shorts or sandals allowed in this shindig!)
Psst - there's FREE Grey Goose vodka & fries between 10pm - 11:30pm!!

The Sleeves CD Launch
The Sleeves CD Launch 18 Nov 2011 | |
When The Sleeves formed back in 2008 they were just some guys looking to play fun music. Then, they realised that a song named Sex Museum would be perfectly augmented by some cross-dressing, and they've never looked back since....
But, seriously - with their hard-hitting primitivist punky-garagey rock, they're now ready to release their first album, Arcade Rock that will fuzz its way into your hindbrain and stay there...
And to their sound will be the equally rough-n-tough sound of Japan's Electric Eel Shock (as well as their scandalous off-stage activities), the jump-around sounds of Van De Kamp's explosive alternative, and the rock stylings of These Selfish Things.
It's gonna be a party from around the world in HK, so be there!
Fri 18 Nov, 8.30pm
Blossom Stage, 2/F Mulifield Building
3-7A Prat Avenue, TST
Tickets: $220 advance / $250 door
(both include a CD copy of The Sleeves 'Arcade Rock' album)
The Sleeves樂隊於二零零八年初組成的目的是玩一些有趣特別的音樂｡之後，他們發現了易服後表演歌曲｢Sex Museum｣的效果很震撼，自此樂隊就走上了這不歸路．．．．．．
他們即將面世的第一張大碟 － ｢Arcade Rock｣集合了樂隊粗獷原始的朋克搖滾，準備引爆你的腦袋！
他們的猛烈的音樂及表演時的瘋狂程度可媲美日本的Electirc Eel Shock樂隊､Van De Kamp及These Selfish Things樂隊，極具爆炸力｡
來參與這將會一場有趣又狂野的派對吧！
二零一一年十一月十八日（星期五） 8:30pm
尖沙咀寶勒巷 3-7A號萬事昌廣場2樓Blossom Stage
門票：$220（預售）/ $250（即場）
（門票包The Sleeve ｢Arcade Rock｣大碟一張）

Each band chosen to represent the Hong Kong indie music scene will have the chance to record 2 songs at Mark 1 Music Centre!
Compilation CD 5 will be released in two launch parties circa April 2012. Details for these events will be released closer to the event.
BANDS CHOSEN: 入選樂隊:

The Underground的下一張合輯的十二支參與樂隊已定! 我們很高興這次共有三十支樂隊報名參與合輯。由於名額有限, 經過一輪篩選後, 我們好不容易才在云云出色樂隊中選出十二支樂隊。
每支中選樂隊皆會在Mark 1 Music Centre灌錄兩首作品, 收錄於合輯中, 為香港當代的獨立音樂留下足跡。
The Underground合輯CD5的兩場發佈派對將於明年四月舉行, 請繼續留意我們的最新消息。

Out of the ground and into your phone! The Underground HK now has an iPhone app!
衝出地下！The Underground HK推出iPhone app！ |  | |
Hong Kong, August 1, 2011 -
The Underground, Hong Kong's premier indie music showcase, took on nine of the best local innovators, entrepreneurs and programmers to win the city's first-ever Battle of the Apps contest, organized by Hong Kong's premier internet networking community, Web Wednesday.
The Underground's app - presented by founder Chris B (AKA, the godmother of Hong Kong's indie music scene) - won over the voting audience with its user-friendly graphics and entertaining content.
The iPhone-friendly program plays new music; publicizes bands and upcoming shows; presents news from The Underground; and more. The software was created by Mangrove Giant, the Hong Kong-based applications developer whose game Kill Kill Monster Campaign entered the Top 100 in 66 countries last year and sold over 100,000 copies.
The Battle of the Apps contest, which featured video and live presentations, took place at Volar on July 20th in front of more than 170 guests and members of the Internet and digital media community. Apps on display included a city food locator, a guide to buying local property, a Chinese learning tool, a location-based gaming platform, a rugby match analyzer, a photo sharing network and a smart phone function that automatically shuts down WiFi to save battery power.
